Responding to the update to her LinkedIn to reflect the changed date of her work with HBOS, a spokesperson for the Chancellor said: “As Rachel said on Good Morning Britain a couple of weeks ago when she was asked, she worked as an economist at the Bank of England between 2000 and 2006, including over a year at the British Embassy in Washington working in the economics section, and then she worked at HBOS from 2006 to 2009.
Rachel Reeves has updated her career history on professional networking site LinkedIn to reflect she worked at Halifax Bank of Scotland (HBOS) longer than she had previously said.
Mr Sorensen, a managing partner at Morrish Solicitors, said: “My clear understanding at the time was that my client, who was in a senior role, left on good terms when HBOS plc was acquired in 2009, as evidenced by the payments made to her, the retention of her company car and other benefits for a six-month period, and a favourable reference.
Jane Wayper, former HR business partner for HBOS who worked alongside Ms Reeves, also said she did not recognise any of the claims about her former colleague.
Her use of expenses during her time working for HBOS were also reportedly subject to an internal investigation, the BBC reported, but a spokesperson for Ms Reeves has claimed she was not aware of the probe.
